An account status specifies the state of an account. Account statuses can be assigned by internal processes or they can be manually changed by the Program API, such as by using Modify Status. When changing an account status using the Modify Status endpoint, make sure the type changes the account status and not the card status only.
Account status is independent of card status. Both the account and card must be in status: N (normal, active) to perform card transactions. See Card Statuses for more information.
This table indicates whether an account status permits certain types of transactions or account updates. X means that the transaction is permitted, and other characters indicate that performing the transaction is contingent on settings and other factors.
